Authenticator app

Hi

The authenticator app keep giving the wrong codes.

I can see it changing the codes but when I put in the latest one it does not work.

I think the app is a waste of space and it just makes everything harder to do.

Thanks

Ade

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.
    The authenticator app relies on time-based codes (TOTP - Time-based One-Time Password). Ensure that the time on your device where the authenticator app is installed is synchronized accurately. Incorrect time settings can lead to code generation issues.
